Hamilton: An American Musical GENDERBENT Lyrics

Non-Stop

*beginning of Laurens' Interlude plays*      

Me: NOPE NO CRYING YET    

*deep breath* BEST SONG IN THE ENTIRE PLAY BESIDES ALL THE OTHER ONES!!!

After the war I went back to New York

A-After the war I went back to New York

I finished up my studies and I practiced law—

I practiced law. Burr worked next door.

Even though we started at the very same time, Alexandra Hamilton began to climb. How to account for her rise to the top? Damn, that girl is—

Non-stop!

Ladies of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me, are you aware that we're making hist'ry? This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation; the liberty behind deliberation. (Non-stop!) I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt with my assistant council—

—co-council; Hamilton sit down. Our client Levana Weeks is innocent. Call your first witness. That's all you had to say.

Ok. One more thing—

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? 

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude may be your doom. - (Aah!)

Why do you write like you're running out of time?

Write day and night like you're running out of time?

Every day you fight like you're running out of time!

Keep on fighting, in the meantime...

Non-stop!

Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony and nowhere is it stronger than in Albany. This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and honestly that's why public service just seems to be calling me. (She's just non-stop!) I pratcticed the law, I practically perfected it. I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it. Now for a strong central democracy if not then I'll be Socrates throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities!

Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention—

I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!

There as a New York junior delegate—

Now what I'm going to say may sound indelicate...

Goes and proposes her own form of government.

What?

Her own plan for a new form of government!

What?

Talks for six hours! The convention is listless.

Bright young woman— 

Yo, who the F is this?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Ev'ry proclamation guarantees free ammunition for your enemies

(Aww!)

Why do you write like it's going out of style? - (Hey!)

Write day and night like it's going out of style? - (Hey)

Ev'ry day you fight like it's going out of style!

Do what you do...

*knock knock knock*
